• Visual Studio Team System Figuring out task duration

  Hi, Let's say that it would take a lawyer 2 hours of actual work to review a contract. However, he tells me that it will take him one week to get it back to me. What would be the best way to enter the duration if I wanted to capture how this impacts the timeline Should I enter it as an elapsed take with 7 day duration Or, do I simply enter two hours for the duration. Thanks We use effort (the amount of time it is going to take) and due date (the day it is due). We actually take this one step further and use planned effort and actual effort and planned due date and actual due date. Using these 4 values we can continue to adjust how well we are doing against our initial estimates. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does UVAtlas preserve primitive order?

  If I run the UVAtlas functions on a mesh, will the order of the primitives (in the IB) be preserved If I want to know the "new" information for face (triangle) n, can I just look up the vertices (in the new VB) with indices pointed out by the IB elements (in the new IB) 3n, 3n+1, and 3n+2 The docs don't state anything about this (AFAICT), but OTOH the functions don't produce a face-map to the old faces (while they do produce a vertex-map) so it seems like it's supposed to preserve the ordering of faces If not, I have to build a "old vertex to face" map where each vertex contains a set of faces that use it, then find the three old vertices for each face in the new mesh using the vertex map, and then take the intersection of the three set ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game AI

  Hi, i am currently working on a simple first person shooter game and this is the first time i am at it. I am actually working on the AI part where the enemies must find the correct player and attack, I have seen some shortest path algorithms like A* and it's variants I want to know in which manner or format the MAP must be stored and conveyed to the CPU players so it is efficient.I want to know this because in a complex map there may be a lot of crucial points and terrains.. Your algorithms will get much more simple if you manage your path finding algorithm and everything just in 2D instead of 3D. To achieve that, you can store pre-computed information in a 2D map of each part of your scene. ...Show All
